So I have to jump across all these gears moving at high speed just to get to where I want to go?
Fuck that.
Build a motherfucking jetpack from stuff that is laying around. If not enough stuff is nearby, head to the town and get stuff there. FLYING GOLEM. Wish Riccto was here.
(2) There's just not enough stuff here to make a jetpack. You decide to head for the town to scrounge some materials. (4) You jump across to the other gear and find yourself pulled towards its surface, even though it's at a right angle to the one you came from. The town covers the whole of this face of the gear. I also looks deserted. Ominous...
Walk towards the gazebo.
You walk towards the gazebo, across the bridge. (6) There's an easily apparent ladder down here, probably into the rest of the dojo. Since there's nothing interesting on the island, you go down. You are now in a hallway. There's a ladder up. which you just came down, and doors lining the sides. The hallway appears to be parallel to the bridge, and you can see the sky out one end, probably at the cliff. And there's nobody here.
Nirur enters the portal, certain that this will be a trivial task and he will be the first to finish. ((I hope that it's a trivial task, but that he's the last to finish due to consistent non-lethally bad rolls.))
Torir enters the death portal, idly wondering whether or not his talisman can control liches, and if it's even worth trying.
Nirur jumps into the portal, and lands on a poofy white cloud. He can see almost nothing but cloud in every direction, except for a large fortress of golden stone. An angel flies from the fortress, and lands next to him. The angel says, "
Young human, you have come at the right time. The Stone of Balance has been under attack for a long time. You must come now, to the sanctuary of balance" He grabs him and flies over the wall of the castle to the keep within. He leads him down the stairs to a large golden stone. "
Quickly, activate the stone! Put your hand into the palmprint!" Nirur puts his hand into the palm-shaped indentation, and presses down. A blinding golden light shoots out, and when he can see again the stone has begun to glow yellow. The angel says, "
Now, there is someone who wishes to talk to you." A voice booms through his mind, "
Thank you, human, for saving Celestia from the invading darkness. I will get these 'gods' out of your bodies..." Nirur feels Imho's influence fading, and Torir feels Rnasthoth's incompetence leave him. "
...And return you to a single form. You will still have the two minds. That alchemist man somehow split your soul and reformed it into two pieces."
And now you feel an odd sensation. Both of you are in Torir's body (or in the place Torir's body was - white skin [as in paper white, not Caucasian white] and grey eyes, not gold and blue or grey and red), as he's jumping into the plane of death. After a quick battle of wills, (1 vs 2) Torir gains control and looks around. He only controls the movements, and for Nirur it's like feeling all of the sensations without being in control. You are standing on a hill with a gallows on it, and some corpses blowing around on the nooses. There is a huge dark fortress about a mile off, and a distinct lack of undead - which wouldn't be odd anywhere else, but here is downright
freaky. They must all be inside the castle listening to the lich's music, which you can hear faintly even here. Disturbing. (4 vs 6) Torir manages to stay in control for now.
Ax glared at the man as he walked by. Well, EXCUUUUSE ME, Mr. Nubby Horns, he thought, mimicking the other's horns with curled index fingers in a somewhat rude gesture... but only because the man's back was turned; Ax was too passive-aggressive to consider doing that to his face. After a moment to assess the situation further he decided to follow the guy to the city. Hopefully he could find the stone he needed. If nothing else, he could always steal something there to help out later.
Buncha friggin' automatons in this city, he thought as he walked. Schilcote'd feel right at home. I gotta remember not to sign anything while I'm here, I know how THAT story turns out. I ain't got time to be slaving away at a desk, filing things and crap. Hmm... anyway, who would know where the stone is? That I could talk to, anyway, I don't think the higher-ups would appreciate me breaking into their offices, although I probably should just to see what they got up in there. Ax finally stepped off of the bridge and into town proper. OK, plan of action. Get some better lockpicks, whether or not I have to pay for them, and then go see about finding a historian.
You go off off the main streets of the city, and into the less reputable back alleys, where there are barely any franchises, except for maybe an
HFH restaurant or two. (5) You look around for somewhere there might be some lockpicks for sale or steal, and see a little "Bob's Burglary Bazaar" on one of the streets. (3) Their best set of lockpicks is extremely well guarded, (3) and it's 75 gp, but with the cash you got from that Thieves' Guild chump, you can afford it. You buy it from the bored demon at the counter, and use them to easily pick one of their tester locks. Works like a charm!
FLYING GOLEM. Wish Riccto was here.
With a failed insanity check you would be the Jetpack. With Rims. And Cup holders
Be Offended. Take some herbs. Find some Wizards.
You look for some magical herbs in the garden. (3) Nothing special... Just a mild hallucinogen or two... (1) You take the herbs, and, um, "take" the herbs. You are standing WEST of a white house. There is a mailbox nearby. Exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and EAST. (6) Whoa... That was weird... You put some of that in your robe for later.
SCHI
Y U NO PATIENCE
Bust do'n da' fookin do'!
What door? I don't see a door here. Ah well, time to break the next best thing - Crates! (6) You smash a crate and a hand cannon falls out! And some ammo! (1) ...And no gunpowder. Damn.

Will do anything asked of him unless he has a reason not to (if it conflicts with an existing goal or his basic morality). Lawful Good (as in lawful as the opposite of chaotic).

Profession: Paladin.
Background: His people believe themselves to be the only true guardians of the material plane; the best way to help the mortal inhabitants of said plane is by not touching anything. Obviously this is what The Creator had in mind, and any who meddle in the plane, and therefore blaspheme The Creator, are to be punished severely.
